Green supply chain for plastic films: A framework for the coexistence of ecosystems and plastic industry for a better environment

Abstract

The green supply chain (GrSC) performance for different industries is varying. It depends on the GrSC framework adoption and its implementation. In this line, this paper discusses the plastic films supply chain for its environmental pollutants through the 'environmental effect multi-fishbone' diagram. The paper reports the five steps suggested for developing the framework for GrSC for plastics. The construct is developed and reported based on the theoretical tools available in the GrSC arena and elaborates 'green supply chain for plastic' as a method for the convergence of the plastic manufacturing industry and the environment. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
